Online data storage sites provide quick recovery of your files and folders. This makes them more safe and secure

DisadvantagesThere are few disadvantages there while using online data storage but if you handle things with care then you can surely avoid them. You must need your user-id and password safe to protect your data as if someone knows or even guess your credentials, it may result in loss of data.To access your files everywhere the only thing you need is internet connection. If you don’t get internet connection somewhere then you will end up with no access of data even though it is safely stored online.
